Tastes exactly like the peda we used to get in Varanasi as kids. Not overly sweet, and the texture is spot on. Ordered a second box within the week.

Rose Dryfruit Ball – Rose & Honey-Style Dry Fruit Mithai
Enjoy the delicate floral aroma and rich nutty texture of Rose Dryfruit Ball from Shri Annapurna Sweets. Made with dates, dried figs, almonds, cashews, pistachios, walnuts, and gulkand, these dry fruit balls combine the natural sweetness of dried fruits with the fragrant character of rose petals and green cardamom.
Each ball is finished with dried desi rose petals, giving it a distinctive appearance and a gentle floral note. Available in boxes of 16 and 36, Rose Dryfruit Ball is a thoughtful choice for festive celebrations, family gatherings, and premium mithai gifting.
About Rose Dryfruit Ball
Rose has been perfuming this part of the country for centuries. Kannauj, a few hours upriver from us, has been distilling attar from desi gulab since Mughal times, and no Banarasi paan is complete without a spoon of gulkand — rose petals crushed with sugar and left to soften in the sun. That is the flavour memory this sweet reaches for: not the sharp rose of a bottled essence, but the slow, jam-like sweetness of petals that have been sitting quietly in a jar. We wrapped it around dry fruit rather than khoya, so what you get is fragrance and chew rather than richness — the piece that cuts through a heavy festive box. It has become a favourite with customers who want to send something generous to a house where somebody is watching their sugar.

How It's Made
There is no sugar syrup in this one, which is what makes it harder than it looks. Dates and anjeer are stoned, cleaned and worked into a thick paste that has to do the whole job of binding — too dry and the ball crumbles in the box, too wet and it slumps out of shape by the second day. Almonds, cashews, pistachios and walnuts are dry-roasted separately and chopped coarse, never powdered, so every bite still has something to break against. Gulkand goes in last, folded through by hand so the rose stays in pockets rather than spreading evenly and disappearing. Each ball is rolled in the palm and turned through dried desi rose petals, which is why the coating looks a little different on every piece. Nothing is moulded and nothing is dipped.
Ingredients
• Dates and anjeer (dried figs)
• Almonds, cashews, pistachios and walnuts
• Gulkand (rose petal preserve)
• Dried desi rose petals
• Green cardamom
Contains: Almonds, cashews, pistachios, walnuts. No added sugar, no artificial essence or colour. May contain sulphites from dried fruit. Made in a facility that also processes milk and wheat.
Storage Instructions
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Dates draw moisture, so a box left open in humid weather will go sticky on the surface — reseal after every serving and the balls stay firm. Refrigeration is not needed and makes them harder to bite; if you do chill them, rest at room temperature for fifteen minutes so the fruit softens and the rose comes forward again. Keep away from strong-smelling foods, as the petals pick up aroma easily.

Ordered for a family function, arrived well packed and fresh. Everyone asked where I got it from. Will reorder for Diwali.
Good taste, slightly sweeter than I expected but still very good quality. Delivery was quick, within 3 days.
